Alien 5 may or may not be happening, with plans still up in the air. But writer and director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium) has released a drawing of what he thinks Newt would look like in his sequel to Aliens if it does indeed move forward.

To backtrack, Newt was the young girl (Carrie Henn) saved by Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in 1986’s Aliens, co-written and directed by James Cameron.

Sigourney Weaver chimed in on Alien 5 happening, telling Aggressive Comix recently, “Ridley (Scott) asked Neill not to make our Alien ’til after Prometheus 2. He (Ridley) wanted his movie to shoot and be released first. But it’s an amazing script, and Neill and I are really excited about doing it. We’re doing other things until we can get going on that. I’d be really surprised if we didn’t do it, because it’s such a great script, and we love working together. So, it’s just going to take a little bit longer to get out to you, but it’ll be worth the wait.”

Scott is currently filming Alien: Covenant, the sequel to Prometheus, which is set to release on October 6, 2017.
